BATHTuBS ON WHEELS.
"A Paris Luxury Suggested for Introduc
ton Into New York.

tiOn Into New York.
Talking about new enterprises spring
ing up here" said a gentleman to a re-
porter, ''why there are thousands of
schemes yet untried that you will be hear
ing of some time. Now there is the Pa
risian bath, for instance. Do you know
how the Parisians pursue the practice
said to be next to godliness?'
Having received the reporters admis-
sion of innocence as to the subject, the
gentleman continued: "INell, TO begin
with, exceedingly few houses in Paris,
except the big hotels, have bathrooms
You might conclude from this statement
that the Parisians are not particularly
fond of bathing But they are, and now
will tell you how they do it. We viii
suppose you are a Partisan living COM
fortably in suite Moreover we will
suppose You take morning bath every
day in the year. Now all that is necessary
for you to do is to leave your order at a.
bathing establishment and a man will
come at the specified hour with q
shining, roomy tub and deposit it
near your bed. Then he will bring
in copper cylinder shaped oven contain
ing what they call a peignoir, which is
thus kept warm until you put it on after
stepping out of the tub. The man covers
the bottom and sides of the tub with a
sheet, and then fills the tub with water
OF the proper temperature, which ne
brings with him in his cart, a peculiar
looking vehicle, by the way, resembling
about as much as anything a gayly
painted oblong boiler on wheels. Having
thus prepared the bath, he adds one finish
ing stroke TO it by dropping into the
steamlng water considerable quantity of
bathing powder, which serves as a skin
tonic, and at the same time emits q lovely
perfume, suggesting resinous odors OF the
woods. The man now withdraws for an
hour and leaves you to enjoy your de-
Hcious ablutions.
You emerge from the bath in half an
hour feeling like an entirely new man.
1t seems az though the exhilarating per
fume Of the water has entered your very
soul. You step lightly out of the tub and
slip on the warm peignoir as though it
We're linen buster, which it slightly re-
sembles, and by means of which you do
not get to shivering while you are drying
yourself.
THAT is the way the Parisians battle
This kind of bath costs three francs go
cents in Paris. In New York it should
not cost more than half that sum. l
think it a very good system to introduce
IN this city, and | have had some idea
myself Of starting an establishment of
the kind. 1t possesses superior advan-
tages for the people who do not live in
houses where there are bathrooms. And
the medicinal benefits of this powder
stirred in the water are great thing in
addition to the fragrant quality it i'm
parts. And then another advantage is
that the tub is brought to you and every
thing is prepared. You can step out Of
bed in the morning into your tub and have
a splendid scrub before dressing. For the
reasons / have mentioned / am sanguine
that the Partisan style of bathing would
prove very popular in New York. New

TIE PoPE'S INCOME.
Sources of tho Enormous PapaI Rev
enue-What His holiness Does With

A foreign diplomatst accredited to Rome
gives the following account of the present
Pope's income and what he does with it. The
pontifical revenue is derived from three sep
arate sources. The first is the interest of an
enormous sum left by Pope Plus TX. to the
papal treasury, which interestp produces some
100000 The capital of this is invested in
English government funds. Contrary to
what some persons might imagine, Leo XIII.
is great Spectator and subscribes to al
the Italian loans. When the latter rise he
sells out and invests the profits in English
consols. To the revenue left by Plus TX
must be added sum almost equal in amount
furnished by the Peters pence fund, which,
however, has fallen off Of late years. This
constitutes the ordinary budget of the Holy
See as distinguished from the extraordinary
budget. The latter is derived from a third
source, and is supplied by the receipts of
the apostolic chancellery. The collation. of
titles of nobility, decorations, blessings in
artlculo mortis, altar privileges, private
chapels, ecclesiastical tltles--such are a few
OF the items which go to make up the ex-
traordinary budget. 1t amounts to an ay-
erage OF 100000 per annum, and serves to
make up the private purse of the sovereign
| pontiff, and on which he relies to exercise
his generosity 1t will be observed that the
private budget Oh The Pope is thus derived,
in great measure, from the satisfaction of
human vanity. The ordinary budget of the
Holy See, which, as stated above, amounts to
| 81, 100000 per annum, is distributed by the
major domo of the Vatican among the cardi-
mails residing in Roundabout $4,000 a year
each-the prelates of the papal court, the sec
retaries, the nuneios, the pontifical body
guards, etc.
1t is denied that Leo XIII. is avaricious.
On the contrary, no Pope ever gave more,
his holiness keeping nothing for himself. AS
for his table. it resembles that of a poor
country curate. His clothes cost him moth
ing, being supplied by the faithful from all
parts of the word, and he scarcely keeps a
penny to enrich even his own family. The
dowry he gave to his favorite nephew the
handsome Camille Pecci, did not reach 500
900, while as for the presents he gave the
bride, they were of the poorest kind. On the
other hand he spends great deal in raising
the prestige of his court, in creating schools,
| relieving the poor and maintaining the
Catholic press. He gives large subsidies to
| papers which support his policy, but they
must be entirely subservient to him.
As yet he has not touched a penny of the
annual allowance of 100000 accorded to the
| Vanican under the law of papal guarantees
| passed when Victor Emmanuel took pos
| session of Rome. The annual income has
gone on accommodating throughout all these
| IL years, and now reaches an enormous sum.

The Illinois Legislature furnishes an inter

law their annual passes would be recalled
Straightway bill was introduced reducing
railway fares from three to two cents amile,
and despatch says that more bills of SINH

higher than the people of Illinois ought
to pay, could not these Legislators see tbefore
their own passes were taken away? Or If the
fares are reasonable, ought the delegates of
the people to use their official positions to
punish railroads that are not to blame for
doing what Congress has enjoined? The

gether are team that don't always pull for

The investigation of the Forest Hills dis
aster by the Massachusetts railroad COM
missioners is developing good deal of tes-
timony to show that the bridge was in bad
condition at the time of the accident and
had been for long time before. 1t would
doubtless be unjust, however, to assume,
even should this be proved conclusively
that the officials of the road suspected
that the bridge was unsafe. They doubles:
thought twas perfectly secure. Their faul
lay in not demonstrating its safety by tests
so severe that there could be no possibility
Of mistake.

1t is not to be wondered at that Queen Vic
toria is thrown into a state of alarm by the
attempt on the life of the Gar. England is a
far different country from Russia, and the
dangerous elements of society are far less
Astounding in one than the other. But there
is in London very dangerous element, from
which the Queen has received more than one
insult and menace. An incident which hap
pened at her last important appearance in
public is doubtless fresh in her mind. 1t was
when she opened Parliament last year with
so much pomp and splendor. The assembly
was as loyal as any that could be gathered
together in any land under the sun. The
peers of the realm were there in their robes
of office. and the Commons attended with a
respectful bearing that quieted even the
boisterous Irish phalanx. Every precaution
that power and love and veneration and 10y
ally could throw around the sovereign of a
realm, had been taken. And yet, after the
magnificent ceremonies were ended, as the
Queen was driving from the Parliament
building, a mob of London roughs of the
class who have instigated and carried on tho
riots, barely restrained by bsrrcade and a
guard from rushing at the carriage, raised
howl Of anger and derision. 1t is the testi-
mony of Mr.. Smalley, the only American cor
!. respondent who seems to have witnessed
The scene, that a flush of agitation over
spread the face of the Queen as her carriage
was driven rapidly away. Yet the necessi-
ties of appearing in public, especially in the
jubilee year of her reign, are imperative. A
triumphal progress through London, the
---Ast splendid of her reign. is all that will
satisiy the requirealants of the great occa-
sion. 1t is not remarkable that lady adj
vanced in years should be dismayed at such
prospect prospect all the drearier be-
cause of her own experiences and the expert
ences of a neighboring sovereign Queen
Victoria is now at an age when women in
the walks of private life are cared for and
guarded from alarm by the watchful tender
ness ofchildren and grandchildren. For a
younger and stronger woman the perplexities
and the personal danger of throne would be
disheartening; as the SEVENTEEN year ap-
proaches the anxieties more than pay for the
glories Of crown

MAINE RAILROADS.

Boston Transcript.
The Maine Legislature, which closed its
session yesterday, enacted a large amount Of
railroad legislation. 1t authorized the ex-
tension of several important existing lines,
the consolidation of the Eastern system with
the Boston x Maine, and Incorporated sever
al roads which win either serve coast dis
tricts heretofore neglected, or will bring
Canada into closer relation with the Pine
Tree State Maine business is every day be-
coming more important TO Boston, and the
effect of recent legislation and railroad eom-
binations has been to bring it under the con-
troll of great through system stretching
from this city to the New Brunswick line, Of
whcih the Boston & Maine is the head and
front. Times have changed in the railroad
world even more rapidly than in the world
outside its limits. 1t seems but yesterday
that the Eastern thought it had the Boston
& Maine bottled up at Berwick Junction. and
yet today the name and identity of the East
ern are in process of rapid disappearance

teen years ago had not grasped for so much
it might have got more,
